Archive bot not working?

The settings indicate that posts should be auto-archived after 31 days while leaving at a minimum of 5 threads on the talk page. Looking at the talk page and Talk:Beyoncé/Archive 16: Revision history, it's clear that Lowercase sigmabot III has not auto-archived anything since June 2025. I'm familiar with the basic parameters but I'm not sure what's causing this. Can someone take a look? —Myceteae🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:19, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

add the birth name ("née Knowles"), see WP:NÉE ~2026-29785-65 (talk) 12:48, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

It's literally in the first four words. PeachyBum07 (talk) 12:49, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Her birth name is Beyoncé Knowles, not Beyoncé Knowles Carter. Read WP:NÉE - ~2026-29785-65 (talk) 12:56, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Post-expand include size

This page is nearing the limit of post-expand include size. Parsing will fail if the limit is breached. Since the prose size of the page is within the recommended limits, I recommend that regular editors of the article reduce the number of transcluded templates rather than remove article content. This can be achieved by removing the excessive number of citations by cutting those from less reliable sources or those that duplicate more reliable citations.

Can a "Personal Life" subsection be added to this page? Information from the artist's life is currently scattered and spread across the main text. JamesdaBologna (talk) 10:29, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

+1 I agree, I think career and personal life sections should be separate. But maybe the person who has it done like this has a good reason for it, so I'll hear them out. jolielover♥talk 18:08, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before posting an edit request. @JamesdaBologna: I'm closing this "edit request" because it is not an edit request. Tbhotch (CC BY-SA 4.0) 18:09, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
+1 also agree with this jolielover♥talk 18:28, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's not that important to me. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift are just some of the top quality articles that follow this format. 750h+ 03:08, 1 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Dance not genre

Pls add dance to genre ~2026-41171-58 (talk) 21:47, 1 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please supply a source that supports that; you can read more at WP:GWAR. LkL-70547 (talk) 21:57, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update Profile Photo

Can we get an updated photo for Beyoncé? Her Grammy AOTY win on stage would be a great option, or anything from the Cowboy Carter era.

We can't just use any photo of her on the internet. We use whatever's properly licensed on Wikimedia Commons, which is very limited; the most recent best photos are from her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. 750h+ 15:10, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
